On the night of the Temple burn, I went way out into the deep playa to get a photo. I do this pretty much every year now… well, 5 out of the last 11. Anyway, I was out there by myself and I saw another photographer show up. That is rare! And so I chatted him up – nice German fellow… I asked him why he was out so far away from the event. And he said, I’m trying to get a Trey Ratcliff shot! And I was like, well that guy is a hack… and then I told him and we had a sweet hug and nerded out on camera stuff while taking photos…

An angel on the playa just after sunset a few days after the burn. We took a break from cleaning up to head out and take a few photos with these cool angel wings designed by Sean French.

Here is yet another one of Michael Benisty’s amazing creations. It’s the first one I saw before I even knew he had three out there. I circled it several times, mesmerized, before taking a photo.

Here’s a photo from one of the first days… this is my favorite time to shoot, right before sunset as the dust gives everything a mystical quality. Heading down 8 PM and Esplanade from Camp Walter to Mirage Garage.

Another 100+ degree day in the desert… I was out of water, but I kept traveling across the desert to find things like this…

I chased the Monaco through an epic storm one day… such a cool art car… powered by the wind. I’m not sure how fast it can go, but I’ve heard rumors that seem off the charts.
